Why should we hire you?


Many job seekers are drilled to think that with the right papers doors will automatically open for them. It's one thing to have great papers and another to sell yourself.

What is the right way to answer the interview question, ‘why should we hire you and not the two or three candidates seated outside?’ This is another broad interview question that can take you down the wrong road unless you've done some thinking ahead of time. This question is purely about selling yourself. Think of yourself as the product.
